Jim Jordan (R-OH) will try again today on a decisive second ballot that will test whether the hard-edged ally of former President Donald Trump can win over the holdouts or if his bid for the gavel is collapsing.

WATCH LIVE: House Homeland Security hearing on Iranian threats to national security

House Homeland Security hearing

The House Homeland Security Committee is holding a hearing on Iranian threats to homeland security.

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) cited the recent outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas as the reason behind the hearing after it exposed Iran’s commitment to the destruction of Israel and the United States. The hearing is slated to begin at 1 p.m.

WHAT TRUMP CAN AND CAN’T SAY NOW THAT HE’S UNDER A GAG ORDER IN CRIMINAL COURT

“The recent cowardly and despicable attacks on Israel by Hamas terrorists demonstrate once again the Iranian regime’s unending commitment to destroying Israel,” Green said. “These sophisticated and coordinated attacks remind us that Iran remains a threat to U.S. homeland security and will stop at nothing to undermine our interests in the region, as well.”
